Schools Given Rest of Basic Support Funds Salem School District received the "big half' of It 1S51-52 ap portionment of basic school sup port funds Thursday from the state. This was $362,616, com pared to $340,163 for the first half of the fiscal year. The first half allotment was made before final computations were possible, thus leading to the differential in halves. District Clerk Connell Ward said the newest figure does not include $11,501 received for the districts consolidated with Salem early this year. For the 1950-51 fiscal year, the district received funds of $208,384 for each half. Marion County was fourth in line for the latest apportionment, according to Secretary of State Earl T. Newbry. It received $804,745, compared to $3,243,797 for Multnomah, $1,377,827 for Lane and $972,512 for Clackamas. Others included $284,422 for Ben ton, $678,318 for Linn, $251,656 for Polk and $392,278 for Yam hill. This is the first year in which apportionments have been on the basis of a levy of $80 per school census child, rather than $50 as earlier provided. The increased support fund comes from a state property tax levy authorized in the 1950 general election.
